Atlanta, GA 30322
How do you manage the expectations of donors, administrators, and the public about collecting and facilitating access to materials with complex creators, content, or histories? Risky Business: The Politics, Pitfalls, and Possibilities of Curatorial Practice in Special Collections will convene important conversations among Special Collections librarians and others who work with these challenges on a regular basis to reach community-oriented solutions. Instead of formal presentations, this unconference will focus on in-depth discussions and other interactions around themes of interest to participants. Sessions will be set up with an introduction to the theme followed by discussions in break-out sessions. It is hoped this gathering will lead to the development of best practices that can serve as a guide for ASERL libraries into the future.
